This is not a very easy period for me. Even though I try to stay positive, I have worries and things that keep me tense, so my mind often looks for an escape toward more positive thoughts.
The BSD Cafe, the illumos Cafe, the wonderful friends from the Fediverse and the BSD community, and many of them also in real life. Because for me the digital world and the physical one are closely interconnected. And that's fantastic.That is exactly why I am not ashamed to say that today, when I arrived at the office to meet the insurance adjuster, I found a package waiting for me. I already knew part of what was inside, but two other items, the ones in the photo here, even though the chocolates were not for me but for my wife, were a surprise. They were unexpected and I admit I was moved while opening it.
Thank you. Truly, thank you. Because I do not need AI telling me I am right even when I am wrong, but human beings whose warmth can be felt even across many, many, many kilometers.

Sorry to hear you're having a difficult time! Hope you'll get through it okay and that better days will be coming soon. -

@stefano Life can get in the way sometimes, yes. I do hope things will brighten up soon for you, Stefano! You always come thru as very, very positive thinking (and as Oscar Wilde said, „we’re all a moon and have a dark side nobody sees“), so being open here is a sign of an amazing personality. So hang on, and as Andreas wrote „in bocca al lupo“, keeping fingers crossed for you, Barista!

@tony so, how much time do you think it takes for maintainers to keep software in a state where it still works for you?

“Perché, dunque, andiamo verso quello che ci fa soffrire? Anzi: non solo lo cerchiamo ma, più radicalmente, ne siamo dipendenti.
Questa domanda attraversa 'Farsi male' (Einaudi 2026), l’ultimo libro dello psichiatra e psicoanalista Vittorio Lingiardi”.

@troglobit @preinheimer @joergi because I like thinking about hard topics. You don't have to, though!
-
@evan That's ... a different question? They've got no obligations to me.
I could maintain it or contribute to it myself, pick something else, pay someone ...
But there's no "should".
-
-
@evan You didn't say "what are your conditions to use software", you said "how many unpaid volunteer hours should there be". There is software with those problems with thousands of hours of investment, there is also software without those issues with very little.
I don't "owe" the project usage, and the maintainers don't "owe" the project maintenance hours.
-
@troglobit @joergi would you continue to use software that has unpatched security alerts?
